the fuel crisis experienced across the nation would soon be resolved, noting that the
Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has sufficient fuel supplies to
meet national demand.

Correspondent in Abuja, after an emergency meeting on the order of President Bola
Tinubu, with the Vice President Kashim Shettima, alongside Chief Executive Officer of
NNPC, Mele Kyari, National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu and other stakeholders to
address the ongoing fuel scarcity across the country.

government was not responsible for recent hikes in fuel costs, urged Nigerians to
